Our installers have an average of 12 years of experience installing replacement windows and doors and are known for their professionalism and customer service expertise.

​ Step One: Replacement Window and Door Pre-Installation Process

Your local Stanek Windows branch office will:

Schedule the final measurement meeting with you at which time all of the openings in your home receiving new windows and/or doors will be measured for manufacturing;

Review the Installation Guide with you so that you are well informed regarding the entire process;

And submit for any permits required for your specific project.

Because we build your windows specifically for your home, if you wish to make any changes to your window or door order – the final measurement meeting is the time to do so. If changes need to be made after the final measurement has taken place, please contact your sales representative immediately as there may be additional cost implications.

​ Step Two: Job Scheduling/Tracking

Your local Stanek Windows branch office will closely monitor the manufacturing of your replacement windows and/or doors with our central manufacturing facility in order to arrange timely scheduling of installation.

Removal of any and all window treatments

Trimmed hedges and shrubbery

Acknowledgement that flower beds may incur some unavoidable damage (although we really try to be mindful of your flowers)

Removal of security system contacts attached to existing windows and doors being replaced

In order to fulfill our promise of a proper and professional installation, we ask for just a few accommodations and considerations necessary to keep your home, family, your new windows and doors, and our crew safe before and during the installation process.

Access to a standard 110-volt electrical outlet as requested by the on-site crew leader.
